"Screenshot via Politics War Room James Carville decided to throw shade at the late Charlie Kirk while remembering his friend, filmmaker Rob Reiner, who was murdered along with his wife Michele Singer Reiner earlier this week. On his Politics War Room podcast on Thursday, Carville and co-host Al Hunt fondly remembered Reiner for his films and advocacy work. Carville described him as a friend and said it was hard to come up with someone who had more cultural impact on his life."
"Hunt blasted President Donald Trump's statement on the murder of the Reiners as abhorrent, and slammed Republicans who have refused to condemn the comments. The president took to Truth Social and suggested Trump Derangement Syndrome was behind the Reiners' deaths. The statement has been met with bipartisan backlash. Trump Derangement Syndrome, alas, has not been part of the investigation by police."
"The Reiners' son, Nick Reiner, is being charged with first degree murder and is accused of stabbing his parents to death. Nick Reiner, 32, has a long history of drug abuse and mental health struggles. Carville and Hunt noted that Trump's statements on the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk were far more respectful and that conservatives grew angry with liberals making light of Kirk's murder."
"Carville compared Kirk and Reiner by declaring that Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was not a pimple on Rob Reiner's a** in terms of influence or anything else. He said: I'm sorry. I don't want anybody to get shotyoung kids, I hate that, but Charlie Kirk was not a pimple on Rob Reiner's a** when it comes to influence, when it comes to impact, when it comes to anything else. I don't want to say anything bad, but for God's sake, don't dare compare Charlie Kirk to Rob Reiner. That's not fair."
James Carville and co-host Al Hunt recalled filmmaker Rob Reiner, praising his films, advocacy work, and cultural impact. Hunt condemned President Donald Trump's Truth Social remarks about the Reiners' deaths and criticized Republicans who declined to denounce the comments. Trump suggested "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was behind the murders, a claim not part of the police investigation. Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were killed and their son Nick Reiner faces first-degree murder charges; authorities say he stabbed his parents and has a history of drug abuse and mental health struggles. Carville contrasted Reiner's influence with conservative activist Charlie Kirk's.
